Hms ocean is decommissioned now

@@_james_8753 Decom' from the RN but still a commissioned & in-service warship with the Brazilian Navy

Kaija.ase.botto.manaa

I did two deployments on Ike (Desert Shield & Desert Storm) and was looking forward to seeing her again. This a good video but it was pretty much click bait.

We went aboard Her in Palma 80s, marvellous !

I was on the last two deployment with her. She sucks, rusty broken ship. Not much you're gonna wanna see

Quick

That's just great, sell your slightly-aged best ships to foreign navies. This policy seems to be pretty damned stupid on its face.

@@veritas41photoThe wonderful Brazilian people are great friends of ours🤗 They are friends, not foes😜

@@veritas41photo 20 years can be a long time depending on what new technologies come about. I wouldn't call it slightly-aged. Especially seeing as the Royal Navy has commissioned a bunch of new ships and has two new aircraft carriers. HMS Ocean was a helicopter carrier, not an aircraft carrier.

@@richbob9155 The two white elephant carriers akin to The Gerald Ford…

"Navio aeródromo" actually means "airport ship", although the name usually applies to carriers in Brazil. The name "aircraft carrier" is "porta-aviões"... But since the ship will operate drones in the Brazilian navy, and since she operated Ospreys in the Royal navy (and those are also "aircrafts"), it´s not incorrect call it a "carrier".

I was yelling bullsh** on that one, too. It's a f'ing AIRCRAFT CARRIER. You can get on and off of it by plane / chopper.

You can use Bosun's chair, helicopter landing on deck, helicopter lowering down rescue line, small boat and if on a carrier or other large deck ship a fixed wing aircraft.

What old? You look well under 40. Not old.

Another old lady shares your envy ... (I'm 79 y.o.)

@@lipym don’t lie to her

Yeah. I don't get the title

Have they changed it since?

@@namename3130 That ship now belongs to the Brazilian navy

@@burnseric64 I meant the title of the video as theres nothing in it to suggest its about the eisenhower.

Most of that is technically dead skin and hair and they form dust bunnies.

@@GenericShirtNinja We called them ghost turds.

Right! Should have ordered 2, and we didn't even keep her, such a shame. Glad she's still sailing tho, albeit under a different flag

@@Mewithabeard She was adapted & up-rated from a RO/RO cargo ship design.

Built to civilian standards. Would you want to go to war in a civvy ship?

@@MarkSmithSa You're in the Royal Navy.....You'll go where you're bloody well told, in a rowboat if needs be! 😄

@@navnig I retired after 34 years. As an artificer I filled in a Draft Preference Card. My preferences were always met. I never served in a a ship built to civilian standards. After 9 years I was promoted to engineer officer where I was appointed, not drafted, to ships and shore jobs. These appointments were made after personal discussion with my appointer/career manager typically considering 3 or so options. As the first deputy staff marine engineer to the Devonport Flotilla I visited Ocean many times. As I stated originally, I'm glad I did not have to go to war in it. Even to go astern the main engines had to be shut down first and then re-started. So sunshine, wind your neck in.

We do there called HMS QUEEN ELIZABETH and her sister HMS PRINCE OF WALES a pair of super carrier's 👌

Ocean was a floating scrap heap

@@seanmcneill6256 ocean was an assault ship that could carry helicopters f35s if it had the deck strengthened and refitted but it isn't a carrier

@@burnseric64 Ocean was a rotatary wing Carrier only as opposed to the QE & POW which were designed from the go specifically for fixed wing aircraft Two different kinds of warships with different roles

@@stephenchappell7512 I no fella

You're welcome, Chuck 😊

Too bad it was on the wrong ship

You mean Brazil.

@@georgebarnes8163 Amen

Thanks for the information,Tek Murphy!!!

She was my hometown's (Sunderland) adopted ship with usually an annual visit for the air show where she showcased her skills with the Royal Marines simulating securing the beach head. Absolutely amazing to watch. Once she went to Brazil we never got a new ship to adopt as a city which was a bitter pill to swallow for us to be honest, but I'm sure there are reasons.

@@theliquor6423 This is really,really and really sad to know when I'd found --- out that the former British Navy's or the Royal British Navy's H.M.S. Ocean British Battle Group aircraft carrier was sold to the Brazilian Navy's Naval Forces that took place,occurred and happened many,many and many years ago,The Liquor!!!

@@gregpineda8660 calm yourself down there mate, she was transferred in 2018... last time I checked 2018 wasn't that long ago. I'm not sure what exactly you are butt hurt about, are you Brazilian and are not happy with a 3rd rate navy that has to buy cast offs from other nations with real navy's?

@@theliquor6423 I am definitely calm and no,I am a Filipino --- Canadian and not a Brazilian.And in my own personal opinion,The British Navy Naval Hierarchy ( And God Save the Queen )should never,never and never sold their former H.M.S. Ocean British Battle Group aircraft carrier specially at this present age and time where the British Navy ( And God Save the Queen ) or the Royal British Naval Forces ( And God Save the Queen ) need more,more and more British or Royal British surface warships because of their naval tensions and provocative stand --- offs with Communist Russian navy servicemen.

Bernie Brazil renamed it El Barco del Amor. (just kidding)

You need a sense of humour to survive our grey Isle

The banter among our armed forces personnel is well known. We're very proud of our forces and keeping up their high morale in trying circumstances, stiff upper lip and all that😁

No No, it just "Had minor signal problems" nothing else.

That's what I was thinking

Saw a woman

i said the same thing soon as it happened. That Captain was smiling a awful lot when he said it crashed. i be they have a system that shoots them down with light or radio waves.

Shhhhh! Loose lips sink ships.

All of that metal floating on water is AMAZING. Here I am less than 1 percent of the weight of either those ships will drown in seconds without a life vest. And the black guy with the dreadlocks wasnt expected.

When the British came to greece in 92, the Hms NORFOLK and SUFFOLK'S crew in port took DRUNKEN SAILOR to a new level.

I would have liked that a documentary crew followed the life and work of Qasem Soleimani, the head of the Quds force, an Iranian elite military agency. The last episode taking part near the Iraqi airport would have been very interesting.

Best comment this year

Back during the Falklands war the Royal Navy experienced being fired upon with Exocet missiles from the argentine air force. I believe one of their ships took a direct hit from one. Since then they have developed several different ways to avoid that happening again. A big part of those developments came from the American company that makes the Exocet and doing a sort of reverse engineering. By knowing exactly how that missile works and with what technology it uses they were able to create multiple defences against it. And in return the Royal Navy gave information gathered from the ship that was hit to the manufacturer of the missile so that they could make improvements to their weapon system. By the two sides working together both were able to make improvements in both attack and defence. Something of interest is that all ships in the american navy and the Royal Navy now have onboard a device that emits a signal that only Exocet missiles can receive. To put it in simple terms Exocet missiles do not work against ships in either of those two navies no matter who fires the missile. This had to be done because you never know when a country that is currently an allie may become an enemy as was the case with Argentina. It never occurred to anyone at the time that Argentina would invade sovereign territory of the U.K.

I was glad they just fined him 2 weeks pay, and didn't ruin his career. I was in his shoes too, for some uh some trouble in 1988ish, I got a second chance, the stuff did go onmy record though,

She was Sunderland adopted ship until she was sold to Brazil

Ships use Yards and Nautical Miles. 2000 Yards = 1 Nautical Mile.

@@GenericShirtNinja that's right, duh.

You're one of the few fellow Americans that is honest enough to admit that our imperial system is way inferior to metric. Not only that the metric system has more sense - 10 mm = 1 cm, 100 cm = 1 m, 1000 m = 1 km, etc, but the actual values of length and weight are based in physics or physical world if you want. On the other hand imperial system with its stupid 1/8", 3/8", pounds, ounces and what not, uses some arbitrary measures pulled out of someone's ass. I know that we Americans still feel exceptional and special (god knows why) but I think we keep saying to us that imperial is better out of pure spite. Thankfully US military uses some of the metric units, mostly for distance. Like for example 10 klicks means 10 kilometers. Also cm are often used in measuring stuff in military. It's all very confusing, what's next, driving in the middle of the road, not on the left or the right side cause "we are special".

@@markbrisec3972 There is nothing, absolutely nothing, that is 100 percent metric.

They sold it because Queen E went online

@@isserdigan2835 They sold it because it was a rotting pile of junk.

@@isserdigan2835 Unfortunately that's not true They sold it without replacement the QE's replaced the Invincibles not Ocean

Same here

If you do, pls include the pub.

She got jailed shortly after this documentary for attempted murder of her submariner BF (with a screwdriver lmao)

V-22 Osprey is a true game changer but it's way to expensive. That's why Valor is being developed as a part of the Future vertical lift program to completely replace the US military's inventory of helicopters. Great stuff is coming..

I couldn't workout why the first comment I saw was about the Eisenhower Lol. The title I got was about the HMS OCEAN. 😂😂😂

More like our eldest son and we are old parents.

We the mongrels

this ship was decommissioned nearly 4 years ago, it was sold to Brazil.

Looks like Royal Navy more Rhythm and Blues, or Easy Listening, perhaps. When you're going to battle with Yoeman, it could even be more of a barn dance! 🤣😂🤣😂😅

@@bend3rbot I would not like to go to sea with the state of things.

This my 4th time all with different titles 🤣

Only the crew of your country are brits, the administrations are run by asians.... Lol

The title is wrong. I have not seen the USS Eisenhower.

@@ezekielmoseley3849 I think this might be an episode of a series

If you're referring to the Phalanx CIWS then yeah, and it's hard to believe it's an over 40 year old weapons system that was originally just used on US destroyers and other naval combat ships back in the late 70s onward. It's turned out to be so reliable and effective it's still relatively unchanged to this day, sadly though it's rarely ever actually needed nowadays in combat due to it being more of a last line of defense if any missiles or projectiles in general make it past any anti air/personnel missiles at longer range.

Yours is the only mention I've seen so far. It's a good video but I want to see the U.S. aircraft carriers.

Boatswains Chair

I'd probably say 2016.

Before 2018 at least cause in 2018 she was sold to brazil
